O.K. I've decided to play with both my 563 and Dr. Evil paddles over the next three weeks and come to a final conclusion on which one I will use at the Nationals. I only have sponge players to practice against. So I think I will try to get some of them to hit to me with one of my paddles while I use the other. I would guess I'm playing about 1200 with the hardbats against sponge players. Thanks.
